Wedding Rings Lost in Huntington Beach Found

Call Surf City Ring Finder 714-944-0555

Ryan and Mireya contacted me about her lost rings that fell from a small table into the sand at Bolsa Chica State Beach.

The rings were a little bit outside the original search area but not by much,  it was a pretty quick recovery with some black sand giving false signals on my old Whites MXT detector.

The Minelab Equinox 800 is packed in my suitcase for tomorrow’s trip to Kauai.

Lost Gold Wedding Band In 3 Foot Of Water At Low Tide, Found And Returned

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

 

EMERALD ISLE, NC

Susan was wading out along the Emerald Isle coastline very close to Bogue Inlet Pier.  While standing in 3-4 foot of water and larger waves crashing into the shoreline, she was having a brief conversation with a younger man standing nearby.  He had told her that he couldn’t swim but it was such a beautiful day to be out enjoying the day.  One of the larger waves came roaring in and sent Susan and the young man tumbling toward the shoreline.  Before the young man was washed out from a riptide, Susan grabbed him and tried to pull him back up.  She felt her parent’s wedding band slip off of her finger.

Jeff, a detectorist was in the are and Susan asked for his help right away.  After a brave attempt in the rough surf, Jeff was getting beat up by the waves and had to give up the attempt to recover her ring.  Jeff suggested she contact The Ring Finders.  After making a post on a local Facebook group, Susan received many comments to contact TRF’s and Steve Ray.  Within 2 hours of the ring being lost and the tide coming back in, it was decided the next day’s low tide would be the best chance.

I met Susan and she showed me the area she was in and I headed into the surf at 1:00pm.  Low tide this day was 2:05pm and After finding 2 sinkers, a fishing leader, 2 pennies and a dime I pulled Susan’s cherished ring up from the depths of over 3 foot of water at 2:20pm.  I was out as far as I could have walked & hunted safely with the waves and rip current possibilities.  I admit, I too was worn out from the bashing waves and when I saw her ring in my scoop, I was so glad to get out of that water for the day!

Dave MacDonald: Lost Ring Recovery Expert in Ventura & Santa Barbara Counties
This afternoon, Dave texted me in a panic: he’d lost his daughter’s gold pendant and chain at Silverstrand Beach in Ventura County. Tasked with safekeeping it during her boogie boarding, he’d tucked it into his shorts pocket—only to find a hole and the pendant gone when he got home. The loss spanned 100 yards of dry sand to the high tide mark. As Dave MacDonald, your expert at davetheringfinder.com, I’m the go-to for lost ring recovery and how to find a lost ring in the sand across Santa Barbara County and Ventura County.
At Silverstrand Beach, shifting sands and crowds made it urgent. I’ve tackled lost ring recovery in cities like Oxnard, Ventura, Santa Barbara, and Carpinteria, so I dove in.

There it was: the pendant and chain, intact.
Pretending to shift focus, I surprised Dave with the find—cue cheers from the crowd! His call to davetheringfinder.com proves professional help beats DIY for how to find a lost ring in the sand.

LOST – Men’s Gold Chain with Pendant and Silver Ring – Kill Devil Hills, Outer Banks, FOUND!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

Sunday morning, I got a Facebook Message from Jordan.  He said that while he and a friend were on the beach yesterday, he had lost his gold chain and a ring.  He couldn’t meet with me because he was at work.

I asked him about the location, and he said that it was about 75 to 100 north of the Avalon pier.  I told him that I would check it out.  When I arrived at the beach it was so crowded that I had a hard time finding a parking spot.  When I parked and went to the beach it was so packed that I couldn’t really cover the area that I thought it might be.

I decided to come back around 6pm when people would be leaving.  I covered the area Jordan told me about thoroughly.  I decided to go nearer to the pier just in case he was wrong about the location.  Just then gentleman approached me.  He said he had lost a gold chain yesterday while wrestling with his friend.  I asked, “Was it Jordan?”  He replied, “how did you know that?”

I let him know that Jordan had contacted me this morning.

He showed me an area about 20 yards from the pier that he thought they were in yesterday.  It wasn’t long until the XP Deus II fired a strong 81 and I saw the glint of a gold chain in the sand.  Randy and the friends he was with were jubilant!!

Not long after, I found the ring only a few feet away.  MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Lost Palladium Wedding Band at Kualoa Regional Park…FOUND!!!

  • from O‘ahu (Hawaii, United States)


This ring find began when I got a text last night that read, « my husband lost his wedding ring at china man’s hat yesterday…any chance you could search for it? » I called and Jason who serves in the Air Force told me he was playing with his two sons in the shallow water behind the breakwater at Kualoa Regional Park and his Palladium Wedding Band went missing. We agreed to meet the next morning at the Park so he could show me the area. I’ve never been to the back of the park so him being there helped quite a bit. After about a 20 minute grid search with no luck other than coins and pull tabs, Jason expanded out the grid search South & West. I started again and more coins and trash. Just as I was about to complete the last leg of the new grid I got a screaming #9 on the Nox and in one scoop there was Jason’s shining ring in the scoop. Jason was right at the end of the grid so all I had to do was look up and say, « Got it ». A sigh of relief came over Jason’s face as he knew we were nearly done with the grid and it wasn’t looking good until that moment. We shook hands and laughed a bit in relief. Nice way to celebrate Memorial Day! Aloha to Jason and his family!

Found Ring at Ocean View Beach VA

  • from Knoxville (Tennessee, United States)

I was metal detecting at Ocean View Beach while on vacation. I was approached by a couple of local ladies who informed me one of them lost a ring about two weeks ago, I told them I would give it a shot. They said it could be anywhere in this general area, not a small area by any means. After no luck from the dry sand I moved to the water because low tide was going to start coming back up, with a little luck and lots of determination I found it in about 3 feet of water and was able to return it to Brittany.

Wedding ring recovered in Grand Rapids, MI

  • from Holland (Michigan, United States)
In the vicinity of Lookout Park in Grand Rapids there are several long sets of steep stairs to get you up the bluff. What a place to lose a ring! Gregg, my fellow Ringfinder, received a call from Kate saying she just lost her wedding ring coming down these steps. Since Gregg is out of town he turned it over to me to find. I met Kate at the top of the stairs and she said that she and her husband were working out by running up and down these stairs. She saw the ring come off her finger and bounce a couple of times on the concrete steps before going into the brush on the left side of the steps. They looked for the ring for a long time and finally called for help. Overhead power lines were creating a lot of interference, and the area was full of trash, further complicating the search for the ring. Finally I used my pinpointer to search the area closest to the concrete edge of the steps, and found it under about 2 inches of soft dirt that had been stirred up by tramping thru that area. Married for only six months and now she has her ring back!!

Ring Lost In Topsail Beach Surf Found Days Later By Crystal Coast Ring Finders

  • from Emerald Isle (North Carolina, United States)

 

After a contacting another person to find a wedding band lost along Topsail Beach, NC failed, Rosanna contacted www.TheRingFinders.com member Steven Ray.  This ring was lost in the surf 4 days prior.

From Tears To Cheers!

Rosanna’s story:

Saturday, May 21 was our first beach trip of the season, little did I know it would end in tears.
I was close to the shoreline with my daughter, my husband came up to us to let me know he was going to swim further out into the ocean.  He stopped himself and said, « oh my ring ».
This November will be 10 years that we’ve been married and he’s lost quite a bit of weight since the day I placed his ring on his finger, so it was already a bit loose on him.
I gave him that look that wives give their husband’s (lol) and asked him to let me hang onto it so he wouldn’t lose it.
I was facing the ocean and my daughter was beside me with her back to the ocean. I had my right arm across my body holding her left hand to help her jump over the waves.  I let go of her hand so that I could hold it with my left hand, the same hand that I had placed my husband’s ring on.  Before I knew it a bigger wave knocked my daughter over, she reached to grab my hand but her little fingers just glided over my hand and she wasn’t able to catch her grip, she had loosened my husband’s ring on my finger and it slipped off.  I immediately gasped and let out a « no »!  I fell to my knees and started to desperately search for his ring, but to no avail.  My heart just sank, I couldn’t believe I had just asked him to let me hang onto it so he wouldn’t lose it and yet, I was the one who had lost it.
After about 15 minutes of crying, searching, getting knocked around from wave after wave, after wave, I walked back up to my beach chair and sat their defeated.  I remember looking out into the ocean and thinking to myself, there has to be someone out there that can find it.  I pulled my phone out and searched on Google, hiring someone who has a metal detector.  Then my next search, hire someone to find a ring at North Topsail.  (Rosanna contacted someone with a Facebook Group page that she mentioned but I choose to omit)  I called him right away, he told me he was out of town but would start his search as soon as he returned.  I received a call from him 3 days later to let me know that he would be heading out the following day to try and look for my husband’s ring.  The next morning he sent me a text stating that he had spent about an hour doing a grid search but had no luck finding the ring.  I remember how disheartening reading that text felt.  I asked if he would be willing to expand his grid and also offered a reward if found.  He let me know that he was confident in his search and was not able to find it, I paid him for his services.  I called my husband on my lunch break, crying, telling him that Chris couldn’t find it and apologizing to him again for having lost it.  I’ll never forget the sincerity in his voice asking me not to cry and telling me that it was ok.
After that call, and composing myself, I heavily debated about posting something online in the hopes that an honest person had found it and would return it, but, I started to think about how people get « second opinions » all the time!  So, back to searching I went, but this time I tried Facebook and that’s when I found your company Steve, Crystal Coast Ring Finders.  A big part of me had already accepted that my husband’s ring was gone forever but I just had to give it one more try.
The level of professionalism that you provided Steve, along with Justin, was unmatched by the first company I contacted, I only wish I had found your company first.  Before I knew it, I was at the beach with Justin and he went straight to work, I could tell he was a man on a mission!  As we left Justin to his search, my family and I headed back home to Jacksonville to get my kiddos ready for bed.  I received a call from Justin even before we made it back to our home, he sent me a picture and I couldn’t believe it, he had found my husband’s wedding ring!!!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!  Thank you for your commitment, dedication, professionalism, compassion, and understanding!  I just knew there had to be someone out there that could find it, I’m beyond happy that I was able to find the right company to get the job done!!!!
Sincerely,
Rosanna

Lost – Lady’s Gold/Silver heirloom ring – Outer Banks – FOUND!!!

  • from New Smyrna Beach (Florida, United States)

It was Friday afternoon around 6pm when I got a call from Rick.  He told he that his wife, Dawn, had lost her ring a few hours ago on the beach and they were very certain that they knew it’s approximate location.  As usual I ask if it was in the water, and he replied that it was in dry sand.

I arrive at the Location about twenty minutes later.  As I met Rick and Dawn for the first time and he said, “I’ve been thinking since we spoke and we lost it a few hours ago, I’m really not sure the tide hasn’t risen above it.”

We went down to the beach and Dawn led the way to where she thought she had lost it.  I fired up the XP Deus II and swept as I followed them.  After I had only gotten a few steps I got a great hit in the wet sand (81!)  I scooped it up, sensing that it was shallow, verified that I had it and continued with Rick and Dawn without missing a beat.

We went on about 30 yards and Dawn turned toward the dune and said, “It’s somewhere in this dry sand.  I asked her if she had a picture?  She got her phone out and started going through her images.  While she did that I reached in my scoop and behold…a ring.  Just then, she showed me her image of the ring.

I held up the ring from scoop and said, “That sure looks a lot like this one!”

Dawn and Rick were very happy to have their ring back!
